NOS Vintage French MOLESKIN Work Wear Chore Pants Trousers 38"x31" Le Mont Rouge

Description: Up for your consideration is an authentic New Old Deadstock Vintage 1960s BLUE MOLESKIN French Workwear / Chore Pants / Bleu de Travail. Gorgeous French Blue color in 100% dense cotton moleskin. It was made in France by Le Mont Rouge company of durable moleskin and quality workmanship to last a lifetime or longer.Moleskin is a heavy cotton fabric, woven and then sheared to create a short, soft pile on one side. The feel and appearance of its nap is similar to felt or chamois. Clothing made from moleskin is noted for its softness and durability. Its name is due to the soft brushed hand of the fabric, similar to the skin of a mole. Maintain moleskin’s tight weave—and preserve its most valued qualities—by machine-washing it then line-drying. Colors will gradually fade, and the result is a well-worn and weathered look. In fact, the unique patina of moleskin is one of its charms. The more it’s washed, the softer and suppler it gets; no amount of washing seems capable of wearing it out.** Feels like suede, Looks like silk, Wears like animal skin **Traditional French tailoring, design, and workmanship:Button fly closure with 4 original metal buttons and 1 metal hook & eye at waist buttonHidden buttons below the metal hook & eye2 front on-seam pockets1 small coin pocket below right front belt loopFlat front for a modern fitGusetted crotch to facilitate motion, comfort, and durabilityNote: this pair does not have a rear or ruler/ tool pocket making it less casualColor: Gorgeous French Blue MoleskinBrand Label: Le Mont Rouge (Marque Déposée)Condition: Exceptional!
